Why is Guardian the leading childcare provider?
At Guardian Childcare, we’re committed to giving every child and family the very best start.
We focus on each child as an individual, nurturing their curiosity and creativity, while helping them build the skills they need for life.
Partnering with families from day one
From your child’s first day, we work alongside you to support every milestone. With safety and wellbeing central to everything we do, children thrive in secure, nurturing environments.
We are proud to be a trusted childcare provider in the community – for babies starting in our Nursery, through to our Flying Start to School preschool / kindergarten program for 3–5-year-olds. Families choose Guardian not only for our thoughtfully designed centres, premium learning spaces, and experienced educators, but because they know their children are safe and inspired every day.
A Community where your family belongs
Our centres are like a safe, welcoming second home. Every child and family is valued, supported, and connected. Building strong family and community connections are at the heart of what we do.
Safety and Wellbeing always come first
- Safety is part of our everyday learning: Through our Look, Do, Tell approach and our I Am Safe Cards, children learn to recognise risks, make safe choices, speak up, and grow the confidence to protect themselves and care for others.
- Create safe spaces and practices: We embed safety in every corner, with strong supervision, no personal phones in rooms, daily checklists, risk assessments, evacuation drills, and Safety Champions leading ongoing improvements to keep children, families, and teams safe.
- Safe people who follow safe policies: Every Guardian team member is carefully recruited, vetted, and trained. This includes Working with Children Checks, reference checks, annual suitability declarations, mandatory child safety training, and adherence to our Code of Conduct.
- Controlling access to our centres: We uses multiple security layers, including gated entries and secure doors. All visitors and tradespeople are checked, inducted, and monitored, ensuring every person entering our centres is safe.
We are a Child Safe Organisation, with a zero-tolerance policy for child harm and a culture of speaking up to report any concerns.

To BE Me – a new era in early learning
- Our bespoke To BE Me program is tailored to support your child through each stage of their first five years, from their earliest days through to their transition to school.
- To BE Me groups your child’s learning into seven areas to help you see their progress clearly. Each of these areas has behaviours or skills that are generally linked to each age and stage.
- It sets easy to follow Learning and Development Pathways and encompasses our educational programs, room set-ups, daily rhythms and the way we interact with your child and guide their play.
For 3-5 years old, the To BE Me program forms our leading 2-year Flying Start to School Preschool / Kindergarten program. This means your child can spend their entire early learning journey with us, while you enjoy all the flexibility and benefits of long day care.
Stay connected to your child’s learning
- My Learning and Development Book: Your child’s personal To BE Me My Learning and Development Book contain Development Pathways with common development milestones for each age and stage. For every milestone, there is also a list of Observed Behaviours which are things our team may see your child doing which indicates they have reached the milestone on the pathway. We update the book when we observe the behaviours.
- Everyday conversations: At drop-off and pick-up, you can chat with your child’s Teacher or Educator about their day, including their meals, sleep, experiences, and friendships.
- Storypark: your child’s digital diary: The updates we post on the Storypark app helps you stay connected when you’re not here. We use it to share snapshots of your child’s learning experiences and their progress towards learning outcomes.
- Our Learning Exchange: Our Learning Exchange displays showcase the weekly educational program and planned learning experiences created to support your child’s development.
- Summary of Learning: Towards the end of each year, we can show you a Summary of Learning using your child’s personalised book. Sometimes this summary is called a Summative Assessment or a Transition Statement. All children leaving for school will receive a Transition Statement. Some state governments require our teams to use a digital Transition Statement which they prescribe. This is also shared with you and can be shared with your child’s school.
Quality Teams, Quality Care
We’re proud of our caring, committed teams. We believe we have the best people working with us – experienced Educators and degree-qualified Teachers dedicated to providing the highest quality care and education. Our teams take the time to truly understand each child, their needs, and their interests.
We know that valued and supported teams deliver the best outcomes, so we invest in creating a positive work environment built on strong culture, recognition, and ongoing professional development.
